Psycho-Oncology

Jimmie C. Holland, M.D et al.

Description

Originally published by Oxford in 1998, Psycho-Oncology was the first comprehensive text in the field and remains the gold standard today. Edited by a team of leading experts in psycho-oncology, spearheaded by Dr. Jimmie C. Holland, the founder of the field, the text reflects the interdisciplinary nature and global reach of this growing field. Thoroughly updated and developed in collaboration with the American Psychosocial Society and the International Psycho-oncology Society, this volume is a comprehensive reference for understanding and managing the psychological issues involved in the care of persons with cancer and the psychological, social, and behavioral factors that contribute to cancer risk and survival. This edition contains new chapters on gender-based and
geriatric issues and expanded coverage of underserved populations, community based programs, and caregiver training and education.
